[Massplanners] [External] Planning Book Recommendations

[Tim Czerwienski]

Hey planners, your faithful MassPlanners Listserv moderator here.

Our list has a very low message size limit (100KB) before messages start getting held back in our moderation system. This can get triggered if a thread gets too long. This is a great conversation that I want to see continue, but I’ve deleted previous messages in the thread below to reduce the message size. Please respond to this message if you have more recommendations.

Make no little plans!
